Sorry this won't work. Most platforms don't need regmap here, and I
certainly don't want to use regmap for toggling pins for runtime
PM because of the extra overhead.

It seems you need to stash the regmap pointer to struct pcs_device
and just the function pointers. As this driver is ioremapping the
region, we certainly want to keep things using void __iomem * too.
You can cast that to whatever regmap needs in the wrapper functions
for regmap. Note that the extra overhead there won't matter as we
are using regmap mostly for devices over I2C and so on.
